 |  Those GILLIGAN'S ISLAND pops are awesome! Very tempting, although I have
 been very sparing with pops and only have about six of them.

 |  Having seemingly run out of Lego kits that really interest me, I’ve relented and ordered their large Millenium Falcon.  Even money I don’t finish it!

          I don’t think my GILLIGAN’S ISLAND memories are fond enough for those Pops.

 |  Panther bust.  Having never owned Legos, I'm looking forward to seeing what
 these builds are all about.

The idea of the drudgery of finishing a model that is too complicated reminds me of some of the anecdotes I read in the making of ROTJ book, where anyone between projects in the model shop would help on the Deathstar and then have to move on after a couple of days because it was too overwhelming.

          I’ve been mulling over doing this cloud city set but the way the scenes are disjointed….. I don’t know.

          If it weren’t for the Cloud Car, I wouldn’t be able to tell this was a Bespin set. Even as assorted scenes from ESB, it doesn’t work for me.

          Yeah, that doesn't really work, does it? There's bits and pieces that are kind of cool, but big chunks that don't. Maybe some long corridors and an orange/teal smoke machine would have helped.

          Cloud City is an easy pass for me.
